He knows to tease us good...


You do know he doesn't design the trailers right?

With all due respect to the MGS fans, Hideo is atrocious at storytelling and scripting. Gears have the best tralers this gen.

While I think it will be kick ass. There is no way it will be better than VS XIII.


Personal opinions aside. Blockbuster refers to sales and review scores.

Gears 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FF vs 13.

Let me borrow that crystal ball of yours sometime, ok?

FF13 didnt do that well. Sales were decent. But not Gears 2 levels. Gears 3 will probably hit 7 mill +

After 17 weeks on sale, Final Fantasy XIII is sitting at 4,674,318 units sold. With only the first week of those sales being in the Holiday season, in one region.

After 17 weeks on sales, Gears of War 2 was sitting at  4,653,142 units sold. Despite having 9(?) weeks of being on sale in the Holiday season, in 2 regions.

So what the hell are you talking about?

FF13 was multiplat. FF13 vs is not. FFvs 13 is an offshoot. FF10 2 sold considerably less than FF10. I expect FF13 vs to sell half of what FF13 does.

Not if ME3 comes out in 2011 it won't.

So? It still is selling above Gears 2, which makes what you said false and wrong.

FFvXIII will not match XIII... Even if it goes Multi. I agree with that, but not at all with the highlighted red.

mw3
ff13vs
uncharted 3
killzone 3
gta5

sorry but no


I dont believe GTA5 will be out next year.

And the only other game that will be better in sales there is MW3.

In fact I agree that MW3 is the blockbuster of 2011.

But the others wont get near Gears sales. Have explained already why FF13vs wont. It's an offshoot. And FF10 2 didnt do great. FF13 reviewed just good not great, so review scores show little to FF games as to sales. FF10 2 not reviewing great does not show why FF10 2 didnt sell well.

No worries.

On another note... You really think Gears 3 will "probably" hit 7M+?

Gears 2 sold less than Gears 1... And in a lot of peoples eyes it was a worse game too.

It's odd.

I actually just had a thought. Halo Reach is out a mere 7-8 months before. Now I think about it. Any shooter that releases within a year on 360 after Reach is gonna find it hard play. It may struggle.

His team does under his instructions I assume.
